It is now time to proceed with completing and submitting all of the clinical requirements. Hopefully, you have completed your immunizations based on previous communications and deadlines as some immunizations (Hepatitis) take as much as 4 - 6 months to complete the required series. All documentation for the Clinical Requirements (immunizations, CPR, etc.) must be submitted as a complete packet in a large envelope by:

A Pre-Enrollment Clinical Requirements checklist is available for you to print and use as a guide in completing all of the processes necessary. If you have been accepted into the class, complete all Steps (A - G) following the directions here, on the checklist and in the associated policies.

If you have been selected as an alternate to the class, proceed with Steps A - D and then STOP until directed by the Health Sciences Division. The last steps of the process are time-sensitive and should be completed only when you have been accepted into the class.

Step C - Technical Standards - Nursing is a physically demanding profession and you must be prepared to meet the technical standards necessary to physically perform the functions of nursing. Upon review of the standards, print the Technical Standards Disclosure Form, initialing each of the areas in which compliance with the standard is possible. Then sign and date as indicated on the bottom of the form.

Step D - Confidential Clinical Application - The initial step to completing the criminal background check is to complete the Health Science Program Application for Clinical Practice form. This form discloses to Shasta College (Confidentially) the existence of any criminal issues. While the existence of convictions will not necessarily disqualify you from enrollment, failure to disclose may be considered falsification and will result in the offer of enrollment being rescinded and will be grounds for immediate termination upon discovery at any time during enrollment.

Step E - Physical Examination - The required physical examination must be completed within no more than 6 months prior to entering the program. The results of the physical examination must be documented on the Health Data/Physical Exam form. The front page of the Health Data form is to be completed by you and the back page by your healthcare provider.

Step G - Criminal Background Check/Drug Screening - It is important for you to follow the Step-By-Step Instructions for completing the Criminal Background Check and Drug Screening. Proceed with this step ONLY when notified of your acceptance into the class.

Once you have completed the Clinical Requirements and have the required documentation for each item necessary, the packet may be submitted to the Health Sciences office. Health Sciences office staff will review the materials and verify completion. All materials submitted become the property of Shasta College and will not be returned to you. We encourage you to make copies of all the forms and materials submitted for your own records.
